OK what I put here is for the E class Mercedes of the same era. Generally Mercedes shares build concepts and ideas across different classes of car.
The mirror assembly consists of a mirror frame socket fitted to ball on the end of a mount arm.
If the mount on the SL is the same then the idea is to stop the mirror from moving freely on the ball. It should be possible to slip the end of a clothing pin(s) between the ball, which is steel, and the socket, which is plastic. Force it gently in and check for the degree of play in the mirror. Once the mirror is stiff clip the protruding remaining length of pin(s) away to keep things looking tidy. Crude, effective but, above all, much cheaper than $900

I'm pretty sure you need a new mirror. Strange problem, might be a mercedes thing to be filled with a liquid, but either way you still need a new mirror. Heated mirrors work off an electrical grid, pretty much the same as a rear window defrost

Your the problem your having with your car is because the CAN controlled area network is down. The most common component to go bad in your model car is the right rear window motor. If your handy pull the rear door panel and unplug the motor for the window. if thats the cause everything will now be working again.Let me know if you need further help Thanks MBTim
